2027 NBA Season

I guess it would be more better if they start to fire their coach and sign those players that they need to see if there's good changes will happen in their organization.

I don't see any reason for them to fire Steve Kerr at this point. They're not the same as the other teams when the team plays poorly and slack of their performance, they never blame the coach. I've seen them at some point that they were likely less of a known team when they keep on losing for a season or two. But despite that, they have never thought of kicking Kerr out of the team. Maybe, someday in the future that the management will start to realize that it's a right thing to do. But for now, I don't see any reason for them to do it. They might just compare it with other teams that did it during the season and those teams that have replaced their good coaches also fell.

No question about Jimmy since we know how capable he is to carry his team. The problem at that time is he is new in Warriors so provably that he's just familiarizing the new system that's why they didn't get much good result last year.

But let see for his second year in Warriors if there's a changes happen since we can't deny that Warriors need Jimmy to contribute a lot for their team since they are really in questionable situation now. No one believe that their team will go far, but maybe Warriors would show something surprising. So let's see what's coming around with them in this season.

They stick with their system. The Warriors are all about fast pace and small ball, and they’re already used to it. That’s always been their key to success in winning multiple championships. I don’t know if they’ll be a strong playoff team this time, but as always, health is what matters.

It’s not just Curry who’s injury prone, even Butler has that history. Remember when he was still with the Heat, he got injured in the playoffs and the team struggled. Before that though, they reached the NBA Finals because of Jimmy’s strong performance, but unfortunately they lost to the Nuggets.

I think the same. It's too early for this team to change their system and as long as Curry is there this won't happen as the risk is too big to take and the result can't be really ugly so I really agree with you here. They will stick to the same format , getting into play-offs for sure and like every year , they will try to win but I don't have high hopes for them to win or either win Conference finals.

Here's an interesting article about LeBron James supposedly being unhappy with how things are going on the Lakers and being likely the next superstar to be traded.  Actually the third superstar in line to be traded according to the article.  Trailing only Zion Williamson and Giannis Antetokounmpo.  I'm not sure who would take on Zion, but Giannis I do believe will be traded at some point in the not too distant future.  I'm surprised we aren't hearing more about it.

I think James should suck it up and embrace playing with Luka and Ayton.  They're great young players.

Coaches are the first one to get their heads rolling once a team didn't perform well. And I have no doubt that if this seasons end very bad for them, maybe the Warriors will have to think very hard and hire a new coach. But for now, he could be safe as he still has Curry and the rest of them never doubting his capacity to lead the team again. But there is also one factor, they are aging and the league could also be maturing from the small ball and who knows, could go back on the traditional center + shooting guard or point guard that we all know before the shift started by Mike D'Antoni.

NBA Champion Khris Middleton keeps popping up on my smartphone Chrome every time I create a new tab, so I was intrigued and checked it.

He is now playing for the Washington Wizards, which we all know has been a bad team for many years. But now, they have veterans, CJ McCollum (acquired through trading Jordan Poole), Brogdon, and Khris. Some are saying this may be the best roster the Wizards have, and it actually will help the young players to learn from the veterans.

They acquired the number 6 draft pick, Tre Johnson, too. As a rookie, it will be a difficult path ahead, but with veterans like Middleton, who is also a shooter and a champion, by your side, it could help him be a great player. Hoping that the hamstring injury is just minor.

Middleton is a great player and a big factor with the ring they got with the Bucks, wizards don't have a legitimate star, that is why they are playing like that, if Middleton will be healthy which is questionable, since he is hampered by injuries during the bucks days, i hope wizard will build a team that can compete to the conference finals, they should make a big move, its been so long playing bad, they have to act, but do they have the cap space to rebuild?

To me, it seems like they don’t have the urgency to build a team that can even make a deep playoff run, let alone become a conference title contender. McCollum and Middleton have already passed their primes, even if they can still score decently, it’s still not enough. Even if, let’s say, they manage to get into the playoffs, they’ll probably get eliminated in the first round, or maybe even in the play-in tournament.

I don't think so that this is the best roster the Wizards have in the modern era. I would still go with the Wizards more than a decade ago where they have Bradley Beal, John Wall, and Paul Pierce when they're competing in the playoffs against the top teams. I can't remember that year, but if you're an NBA fan for quite some time, I know you've also seen that roster as well. That's the peak of the Wizards for me.

Now as for the current roster of the team, Middleton is now injury prone, and while I commend him for how he played when he's still in the Bucks, the fact that he's an injury-prone makes him unreliable. McCollum also declined his performance ever since he got traded to the Pelicans. Those young players like Johnson and Coulibaly might learn one or two from these veterans, but as always, they will remain as a bad team still.

Those are the prime version of Middleton and to a extent Giannis as well was entering his athleticism year that's why they won a ring that season. But after that, it's hard for them to replicate the success as Middleton was prone to injury already and it seems that in a span of a year, his body deteriorated so quick and now he is bouncing around the league and obviously out of his best year. And it's hard to see him in a cellar dweller team like Washington Wizards. In any case, it could be that we might see him in just couple of years and maybe retire if that body and knee will not hold up.

I'm not really sure if that is a good trade or line up as most of them have the same position. It might have been the Wizards is the dumping ground of old and veteran players? It's good that they have traded Poole, I mean in Warriors he was really that good, but in Washington he was really a mess and trying to be their franchise player but he did made a lot of of "Shaqtin-a-fool" moved.

So I'm not expecting the Wizards to be a good contender for the upcoming season. They could still be in the bottom, but the thing is that no other talented players might want to go to team, unless they got lucky on picking undrafted and then turning him into a monster.

Not by far to happened after this movement we might see him retire for good, with those injuries and knowing that he's not getting any younger, the chance of competing against younger and stronger new sets of superstars will be difficult for him, and considering the team that he's going to play now, even with CJ and Brogdon might not good enough to compete against those super teams, looking to see if how the management will maximize the use of him.

I doubt this is the best since John Wall prime era makes Wizards relevant for many years.

This current roster is good on paper if we didn’t factor in the age of the players involved. They are not on their prime so I doubt this team will bring huge impact unlike when these player is acquired on their prime.

I agree on your opinion that the benefits of this new roster is to give experience to young players.

Wizards can't do anything no matter how hard they try. It's clear that they are not that great and it's obvious that they are going to end up with some troubles. So do not assume that we are going to end up with better results. Wizards is just simply tanking and they are going to keep on tanking for a while longer, it's just the way things are.

If they keep doing this, and keep getting bad contracts in return of some picks, or just simply get them and tank and give the kids some mentorship with these stars, then they are going to be better in the future. Honestly it's all about being a destination team, and Wizards isn't one, hence why in most cases big names win the titles, whereas smaller teams do not win it that often.

Here’s a rabbit hole for you…

https://x.com/hoopmixonly/status/1961110178289655898

The above post alleges that Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife, who famously went on to date Michael Jordan’s son, has now been spotted on a date with Dennis Rodman’s son. They’re roasting in the comments and say that Steve Kerr’s son Nick is next. Lol

This is so weird because she probably knew Michael Jordan’s son as a little kid. Dennis Rodman’s son wasn’t even born yet when they were all on the Bulls.

While the possibility is there, it should have been done long time ago when they're too weak and the team have been eliminated too early just after being back to back champs back then. As the game and meta changes from time to time, strategies are also evolving for which the coaches have to apply and do an experiment to the team. Perfect strategies does exists but it also depends to the basketball IQ of the players that are being sent to the court.

it will come coaches now come and go, its the management decision if they are going to fire kerr, if he will not make it to the finals 2-3 season its over for him, team have expectations when they reach the finals couple of times and win rings, but i don't give kerr the credit for it, since its the players prime, he just lucky it handed to him, while jackson train and mold them, surely kerr harvest someone's crop, but it is how it is.

GSW don't have a chance last year even with the healthy curry he need to get pass OKC, Denver, and they don't have a chance, GSW don't have the role players few years ago that can do a run even with the second five, last year they don't have that and if they can't have a second line-up that like that they can't compete, last year and this year is different from 5 years ago, they have klay iggy poole, and other role players, so the answer is they won't make it, unless they acquire another star player and a supporting cast for them, small ball won't work.

You seem so confident with that, but it’s the same thing people were saying back when they won a championship against the Celtics. I think the current roster is stronger now since they already have Butler. They were just unlucky that Curry got injured. Look at the record, they won the first round with Curry playing, then lost in the second because Curry was out. That’s the real story.

He’s just blinded. I’m not really sure, but maybe he’s a Curry/GSW hater or a fan of other team, which is why he’s saying things like that. Even if you don’t like the team, give credit where it’s due, don’t be biased. It would’ve been a different story if Curry wasn’t injured. Sure, Denver and OKC were tough at that time, but the Clippers even forced a Game 7 against Denver, which not many people expected. And like @stadus said, that’s the same thing people were saying when they are against the Celtics. Others even claimed they wouldn’t win another ring after KD left GS, until they proved them wrong by making it to the Finals and beating the Celtics.

Well it doe's not mean that the other team force a game seven means they will force a game seven also right? do you even know who is in the clippers? so you mean curry can curry can carry GSW? really do you really believe that? who carry GSW during the cavs gsw finals is it curry? its Iguodala, Durant, what are you talking about that im a hater, try to review the finals match-up.

John Wall era or even Westbrook as he was able to bring back the Wizards to the playoff if my memory serves me right. But that was just for one season as Westbrook goes to the Lakers after his Wizard stint.

There are really teams that might remain below in the standings. That's how the setup should be, there could be sacrificial lamb for many years until something has change or they acquire a great player. So they are good in paper but I don't see it competing in high level.

Looks like Steve Kerr will go out or retire if Curry will retire as well. That's how I see, maybe it's not co-terminous or there is no legal binding, but we all know that Steve Kerr is the coach of the prime Curry and brought 4 championship ring to the Dub Nation.

So it seems that both are still strong in this upcoming season, no major trade or acquisition from them, although they have lost of it's core in Looney but there are reports that Al Horford will sign for them. There is also news of Kuminga traded to the Kings with Monk, but I read that they are not that interested as they don't see Monk as a Warrior kind of player.
